Melba (sorry hate using Lord's name in vain but that's what he said)" and she says it was 9 ft long and he says it again with MORE shock and surprise and then she tells him it's weight and he says it again all freaked out in shock!!  you just have to meet this lady. she looks like Lucille Ball and kinda has the humor to boot. |
LOL that's too cute! And I love Lucille Ball.
And why wasn't he fishing with her? lol
She has the whole replica of a Marlin in the basement??? LOL That is huge!
Unfortunately i'm a "land lubber" as my kids call it. I can't handle the motion of the ocean. My son gets sick but he grins and bears it. My 8yr. old dd LOVES it! She can't get enough of being in the wild blue yonder.
